31113/Brownback’s tax plan the “poorest 20% of Kansas taxpayers wouldhave to pay an additional 0.2% more of their income in taxes each year,or an average increase of $22; the middle 20% would pay 0.2% less oftheir income in taxes each year, or an average cut of $104, and therichest 1% of Kansans, those with an average income of over $1 million,would save an average of $6,528 a year.” had implemented his current taxwish list in 2012, that state would have lost nearly $340 million inrevenue- bama took 41% of the vote and he didn't campaign in Texas oncein the entire election season. Thats about a 1,200,000 vote difference.There were an estimated 4 million hispanics who didn't vote and if theyhad voted according to the national 70/30 hispanic split, Barack Obamawould have taken Texas-texas takes less, particularly for women's'health. Go Texas Taiban! Secede Now!-people do not choose where to locatea business based on taxes, A business chooses to locate where there is aneducated workforce and an infrastructure that allows them to moveproducts. Of course republicans have no interest in evidence-californiapays more taxes then all red-states combined... fact is cutting taxes inred-states makes the federal government give them more moneym there is noeconomy in red-states other then big-gooberment and subsidies welfarerats the lot of them all red-states should only get back what they pay infederal taxes no a penny more blue states have been paying for red-statessince reconstruction... all red-staters every last person who lives in ared-state is nothing more then a lying cheap a(ss) loser who spends otherstates money while telling them how to spend the rest of their money-thestate where preachers shoot and kill doctors providing abortion services.This is the state with a "church" that pickets and abuses gays andlesbians.

As cold as it is where this wasfound to be living, I'd say it's very difficult to kill.--InformationTechnology and Innovation Foundation, a lobbying group, saidsequestration would leave the United States $511 billion behind inresearch and development investment, compared with expected growth inspending on research in China. CUTS, AND MORE CUTS, NIH will reduce itsbudget by $1.5 billion, or 5 percent, according to estimates from theOffice of Management and Budget. The National Science Foundation (NSF)stands to lose $290 million. NIHealth has said sequestration means itwill likely reduce funding for existing grants and it expects to makefewer new awards in fiscal year 2013, beginning this fall. NSF said itwill absorb the cuts by awarding approximately 1,000 fewer grants infiscal year 2013, though it will not cut existing standard grants.Exactly which grants might suffer is unclear. About three-fifths, or$40.8 billion, of all university research funding in Fiscal Year 2011came from the federal government, according to a recent National Centerfor Science and Engineering Statistics survey. Money from states,localities, foundations, individuals, companies and other sources make upthe rest-jama has targeted certain employee groups to experience somelife altering pain, Thanks to all who voted this nasty basterd back inoffice.-STop telling the truth,the Low information voters may hear you,and you know how the Democrats will hate you for spreading truth around-You are hereby forbidden to tell the truth!

Perhaps these schoolswouldn't be in such dire straits if they learned a few budgetingskills-pity for all the people hurt by the cuts. How about some pity forpeople like me who have been taxed into oblivion to pay for all thegovernment bloat, and our poor children who will have to foot the billfor an inept and incompetent congress that can't even add. The onlyproblem with sequestration is that it is an order of magnitude too small-funding from NIH and NSF is earmarked for research only in almost allcases. It can't be used to pay professors or other general universityexpenses for undergrads (energy, IT, facilities, and maintenance costs,etc). In most large universities the education and research sides ofthings are completely different entities with separate funding- Romney'sidea PBS $300 million can that be used for scientific research instead-It's called liberal welfare. Jobs for all the archeologists! You know themodern liberals that criticize the evil rich but praise the achievementsof past civilizations that used slave or forced labor. If you thinkgovernment jobs are good, look at the history of the building of theGreat Wall of China.
